Hi Ilan_s,

If you are looking for early planning and stability you really may think about the Futura 141 who is also my favorite compare to the 133. On top of that you will be really fast.

All the best

Thanks all, bought the Shark 135, hope it will work for me as intended. Missed the wind by half an hour when the board arrived and no wind for at last a week. Found though that I can uphaul on this board.

I`m 105 kg. Couple of years ago went to Feurte and Shark 130 was only board I could hire. It stunned me how it coped in waves/swell (at Flag beach) IMO it will not plane as early or be as fast as Futura but it will be a lot easier to sail in rough conditions. At your weight it will be like a big wave board.
They are both great boards.
Futura more dedicated towards speed/slalom.
Shark perfect freerider.(But its not slow either)

Thank you all for your advice and patient. I am probably going to get the Shark.

Somewhat different boards.

although both are freeride, the Shark is more freeride while the Futura is more racing oriented. I think the Shark in lightweight construction will be the one planing earlier, but the Futura will definetely be faster.

Given your conditions and sails, I think the Shark might be the best option.

Thanks Remi. I am more or less covered for the “8.5” days. I am now looking to expend to the days I can’t sail at all. A 115-125 is probably better, but I am not quite ready. My bet is that 135 will be a suitable compromise that I hope I will be able to use also bellow 10m/s
